How I Cover Bible Study with All 5 Kids During Our Homeschool Day

Doing our bible study each day is number 1 on our list of priorities. I make sure we read our bible and have prayer each morning right after breakfast, before starting any chores or other schoolwork, because if we don’t start our day out the right way, with God in our heart, then the rest of the day just goes downhill.

So how do I manage to do a bible study every day with 5 kids??? I have 2 resources I use for Bible Study: Grapevines Bible Studies and Write Through the Bible Series.

Write Through the Bible Series is used as our character training and for bible memory verse selections. Grapevine Bible Study has memory verse selections as well, but we use the ones in WTTB because I like the encouragement and training they offer. Right now, we are working through the KJV Philippians 2 workbooks using the manuscript, cursive and Jr. versions. Until now I had to create my own traceable verses for my little ones, but FINALLY, I was so excited to find out that Intoxicated on Life created a JR traceable version!! I jumped at this book and my boys love it!

In the Junior version, they trace the bible verse as my older ones copy their verses, but the best part is, that in addition to this, they have included a section for practicing the alphabet. so while we are doing our bible study, the boys can practice tracing their letter for that week and then they have 2 pages each day that they either color, cut & paste, circle the letter, dot the letter, do mazes, and many other options that help them learn their letters. I have been really happy with this Jr. version and it goes great with the older kids versions.

There is also a family study of Philippians 2 called The Heart of Humility that we own, however, we haven’t done the study yet. It looks like a great study, as all of Intoxicated on Life’s products are, so when we do this study, I will post about it and let you know how we liked it.

Here are some shots of our WTTB versions and later, I will post more in-depth about our Grapevine Studies because I will have a giveaway with that post! yeah!

WTTB manuscript and cursive versions goes through 135 days, with them copying the bible verse the first 3 days, then 1 day of looking up 2 or 3 vocabulary words such as “encouragement or comfort”, then 1 day of dictating the bible verse. The next day combines the bibles verses they have learned up to that point. So essentially what they are doing is learning one verse of Philippians at a time and then every few days combining all of the verses so that at the end, they will have memorized the entire chapter 2 of Philippians. Because there are 3 days of copying the bible verse, we use these for our copywork as well. You can read here about how I Add Copywork into our school day.

The WTTB Junior version works the same way in that the child learns small chunks of the verses at a time and combines them as they go through the study, memorizing them. When they get to the end of the study, your child will have memorized the entire chapter of Philippians 2.

These are shots of the extra pages that come with each weeks learning.
